ESN PLAYER EVALUATION/NOTES
Will is an outstanding prospect in the 2021 recruiting class. He put up some huge numbers on the field and has the physical measurables colleges want. Will has the burst and acceleration to get through creases quickly and he has the long speed to separate from the second and third levels. He has the ability to set up defenders in space with a quick hesitation, stop, or cut that stuns them for a split second but long enough to blow by them, and then he is off to the races. He lines up in the slot and is a tough 1-on-1 cover. He is a solid route runner that gets open and makes plays. He reminds us of a lot of Christian McCaffrey. He is a Power 5 national recruit.
